Long distance love
At the time the couple met, Kanjii was studying music in America. After her tour, Mwendie went back home to Kenya. “We had a long-distance relationship for four years,” says Mwendie, her soft voice echoing in the room.
But when Kanjii came back home after his studies, Mwendie left for South Africa to pursue further studies. Distance, however, did not deter the young couple.
They were in love and Kanjii was already planning a lifetime with Mwendie. However, just before they got engaged, the two had a big fight. “This was the biggest fight we ever had,” confesses Kanjii.
Lessons in marriage
“Regardless, I could not imagine Mwendie not being in my life,” he says.
The fight was an eye-opener to the couple.
“I remember saying this was something I had to deal with and I was not going to let her go,” says Kanjii. Six weeks into meeting Mwendie, Kanjii had told his aunt, uncle and friends that he felt he had found ‘the one’.
